PARCI-IMENT BUTTON.

Specification of Letters Patent.

lPatented N ov. 25,1913.

Application led January 4, 1912. Serial No, 669,445.

To all whom t may concern: Y

Be it known that I, GUsTAv SACHSENR- DER, a subject of the German Emperor, and residing at Barmen- Unterbarmen, vGrermany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Parchment Buttons, of which the following is a speciiication.

The subject-matter of my invention is an improved clothes-button or linen-button.

The novel feature of the invention consists in the button being formed of vegetable parchment, which is organically or structurally united during its manufacture on one or both sides with linen or a like fabric. To effect such union I preferably parchmentize the parchment and text-ile fabric together.

In the drawing, Figure l is a plan View and Fig. 2 is a diametral section through the improved button.

a designates the parchment, b the textile covering and c, c the sewing holes.

The button is manufactured by its being stamped out, and pressed from a sheet of vegetable parchment which has been organically or structurally united, or parchmentized, during its manufacture with the textile material, the outer edge of the button being simultaneously rounded olf and the button impressed if desired. During the same operation the sewing holes c, c are punched.

The button, which may be manufactured 1n any color, is fully capable of resisting the effects of the washing water, is exceedingly durable both when in use, and when the article of clothing to which it is attached is mangled, and is exceedingly cheap to manufacture. It has, moreover, the advantage that the textile material which has been organically united to the vegetable parchment does not become worn olf nor worn through. When covered on both sides, t-he button has the advantage that it presents on both sides the same appearance.

1. A button consisting of a piece of vegetable parchment, and a `covering of textile fabric structurally united thereto during the manufacture of said parchment.

2. A button consisting of a piece of vegetable parchment, and a covering of textile fabric parchmentized thereto during the manufacture of said parchment.

In testimony whereof, I aiiix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
